To all whlmt it natty concern-.-

Be it known that we, CHRISTIAN WILLIAM MEINEoKE, residing at Jersey City, and DAN- IEL HOGAN, residing at Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, citizens of the United States, have invented new and useful Improvements in Ice-Helmets of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an ice-helmet by which the application of ice to the head can be made as called for; and the invention resides in the novel feature of construction hereinafter more specifically described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view of an ice-helmet constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 9c 00, Fig.1. Fig. 3 is a section on thelineyyofFig. 2. Fig. 4 is a modification, partly broken away. Fig. 5 is a section on the line 2 z of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a sectional elevation of the form shown in Fig. 4 with the parts shifted, and Fig. 7 illustrates an ice-helmet in accordance with this invention applied to the head.

The drawings illustrate an ice-helmet consisting of a receptacle having the side wall m thereof capable of being folded inwardly upon itself, and the said receptacle has one portion bent or tucked within the other portion, so that the said receptacle can be adjusted to fit the part to which it is to be applied. The helmet comprises a mouth a to permit of the introduction of ice and which is closed through the medium of a stopper 1).

By reference to the drawings it can be seen that the tucked portion andthe outer or remaining portion are loose or shiftable with respect to one another. The stopper can thus be shifted to various positions, as the helmet is to be applied to the top or the back of the head or moved back far enough to reach the base of the skull or back of the neck. The mouth or inlet is made of suitable size to permit of the introduction of ice and is located at any point desired. It can be at the end of the bag, as shown in Fig. 4, or at the side, as shown in Fig. 1; but it must not be positioned in such a manner as to prevent the tuck or creasing along the line a.

The stopper 6 can consist of a screw-stopper with a rubber cap over its flange or handle part to give a firm closure and also enable the operator to obtain an antislipping grip.

In Fig. 1 of the drawings the helmet is provided with loops 6 for tying or securing the device to the head of the patient, and in Fig. 4 with eyelets d.

The helmet of Fig. 2 is shown with its face joined by a plait or strip, while in Fig. 5 the face-pieces are joined directly or are in contact with or abutting one another.

Having thus fully described our invention, what'we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

An ice-helmet formed of a fiat receptacle provided with an inwardly-foldable side wall, said receptacle adapted to have one portion thereof tucked within the other, thereby forming a substantially hollow hemispherical head-covering, the outer and inner portions of the receptacle being shiftable one with respect to the other so that the helmet can inclose various portions of the head.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
